flordicortisone

[por-cel19]

Dr switched me to this plus the midodrine but I'm not gonna take that again what I want to know is do I need potassium supplements since this is at 0.1 mg per day? And any side effects i need to watch out for?

Your question is confusing but with Florinef you are supposed to supplement Potassium. I had horrible side effects from Florinef even at 1/4 of the dose you are taking but I do very well with Midodrine.

what side effects did you have?

what side effects did you have?

I had daily severe headaches and intracranial pressure from Florinef which is not at all a normal symptom for me. It never raised my BP as it was supposed to and in general I just felt sick and horrible on it. It also contained two yellow food dyes (which I later became severely allergic to when I developed MCAS) and am not sure if this played any role in my specific case but suspect it didn't help.

So did I...but for many it works well. Potassium should be monitored though.
